2010 marks the Tenth Anniversary of Security Council Resolution (UNSeR) 1325, which is a landmark legal and political framework that acknowledges the importance of women's participation and gender perspectives as an integral part of peace negotiations,
humanitarian planning, peacekeeping operations, post-conflict peacebuilding and governance. The successful launch of the Open Days for Women and Peace, under the auspices of the United Nations, in June 2010 in several countries, later reinforced by the
Global Open Day at the United Nations last week, as well as numerous other forums, events and activities, have brought to light and carried forward in a dramatic way our many accomplishments, but also the need to go from resolution to action. This is the moment for critical assessment, as well as, for delineating a road map ofaction hereafter.
